On my way

First post of the new year...and it's good news!

I found out this morning that I was accepted into the summer internship program at the Arizona Republic...the largest newspaper in Arizona!!!

Not only is it a coveted internship (I was one of five accepted from applicants across the country!) but it is paid--a rare thing in the newspaper industry these days! I get a big fat paycheck of $650 each week! (And I have already decided I am going to use my earnings for a trip overseas.)

I won't be writing entertainment or features, but nonetheless, it is a fantastic opportunity.

I'm still kind of in shock because I never thought I would actually land this internship. Crazy!!

Anyway, more to come later this week, with photos included.
